Performance standards are the key to determining success or failure of training programs or performance improvement efforts. They are a measuring stick which performance can be measured. Performance standards that are realistic and valid have a good chance of being successful.
In order to validate performance standards, performance itself needs to be defined. Most managers define performance as what people do, for example most managers equate behavior and performance as the same thing. It is important to separate behaviors from performance. For example if someone is consistently punctual, has a good attitude while at work does not mean that they are producing an appropriate amount of work and vice versa an employee may be unsociable and may have poor communication skills does not mean that they are not performing their job well.
It is important to design performance standards that are not behavior driven, and are related to the job function and are quantifiable, and they should let the employee know what is expected of them.
(Nickols 2000)

Pfeffer (2005) argues that wage compression and symbolic egalitarianism is the best practice to gain competitive advantage, however other theorists advocate a ‘best fit’ model depending on the organisational strategic plan.

Prior to any development, management should take note of what exactly they want to achieve with their performance appraisal system (goals), what properties they want their appraisal systems to possess (characteristics), how they wish to execute the performance appraisal (method), and how they will use the data collected to achieve said goals (feedback). It is also pertinent that effective performance management systems clearly communicate expectations, distribute performance information to employees
